Well, I did live 35 years+ of my life in an Atlanta suburb, what do you

RC sells pretty well, here, too, about the quantity of IBC.
To me, RC tastes like a cross between Coke and Dr. Pepper.

Have you ever had it hot?
Nuke up a mug of DP sometime and drink it like hot tea or coffee.  You 
will be pleasantly surprised.

In these parts, people just say Coke instead of soda or pop to mean a 
carbonated beverage.  I am probably the only one in my county that says 
soda, and that's because I started saying it a few years ago to 
differentiate things when I write online.
My Wisconsinite friend Louis always said "pop", and a song on the radio 
was a "tune"..
